De Nervios - Wome... __full__: Mujeres Al Borde De Un Ataque

The Essentials

In any other director’s hands, these women would be caricatures of jealousy and rivalry. But Almodóvar stages their collision as a liberation. The women do not fight over Iván. They bond over his betrayal. When Lucía arrives to burn down Pepa’s apartment, she doesn’t attack Pepa; she burns Iván’s bespoke suits. The enemy is not the other woman. The enemy is the man who made them all feel invisible.

  1. The Inspiration: Almodóvar based the film loosely on Jean Cocteau’s play The Human Voice, which features a woman speaking on the phone to a lover who is leaving her.
  2. The Cameo: Keep your eyes peeled for a young Javier Bardem as a furniture delivery man. It’s one of his earliest screen appearances.
  3. The Musical: The film was adapted into a Broadway musical in 2010, produced by Lincoln Center, showing how universal the story is.

The result is a symphony of drugged slapstick—bodies slumping over furniture, moaning in slow motion. Almodóvar turns chemical sedation into a comic ballet. The gazpacho represents how women’s plans to control their lives are always consumed (literally) by indifferent outsiders. Mujeres Al Borde De Un Ataque De Nervios - Wome...
